I have been a long-time CorelDRAW user in the past, using versions 6 till 9 intensively. I've used newer releases (12 and X7) less frequently, since I moved to OSX, alas (there once was a Mac version, but that was quickly abandoned). I've seriously considered it and my wife is still using it to create illustrations for her Math classes. CorelDRAW especially is very efficient for technical drawing and illustration, although it is not a real CAD drafting system (it lacks some of the essential snapping tools and works less efficient for this type of drafting - besides, they provide CorelCAD for that, although that is a completely different software). The good control over grids, snapping and shape/curve editing make it a professional environment.It used to come with some other applications (CorelDREAM for 3D, R.A.V.E. for Flash), but the only constant companion software seems to be PhotoPAINT, which is a very usable alternative to Photoshop. A little less convincing, but still very usable and complete. I remember being spoiled with a huge clipart collection and a PRINTED catalog, back in the days.To me, CorelDRAW really shines when it comes to refined, precise technical drawings, combining curves, text, filled shapes, gradients and even integrating images. It is a good DTP system although less popular than Illustrator, which is its closest rival. For longer, multi-page documents, it becomes less handy, but for brochures, leaflets, manuals, calendars and all other documents with one or a few pages, it works really well. I also like the layer system, which allows you to define layers which don't print, layers which are repeated and all pages alongside the regular layer options such as show/hide and lock. The text system takes some getting used to, but you have full control over fonts, kerning, sizes, spacing and even linking boxes to flow the text.

Pros :

Very complete and professional vector editing.

Also includes PhotoPAINT, as an alternative to Photoshop

Good control over color, shape merging and combining.

Also usable for Multi-page documents (although not a full DTP system).

Snapping and Grids and precision editing work fine.

Fair Price and better-licensing options then Adobe.

Cons :

Less supported in the industry, which is focused on Adobe software.

If you compare with the full suite of Adobe tools, you only have Vector and Image with CorelDRAW

Corel VideoStudio Pro X7 is a stand-alone video editing tool that provides a straightforward editing interface for newcomers, a quite accessible interface for additional customization options, 64-bit performance, and some additional bonus features, all at a price well under $100.

Tracks is a great way to share content from special events or even to just tell a story in photos and video. I started to use it as a pseudo blog to post pictures and videos of my son and invited my parents and siblings to be a part of the group as well. There are many different ways to use Tracks, and you are not just locked into using it for events, which is what I like. It is simple enough that just about anyone can use it, and it is flexible enough that it can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
